I love food. Love to read about it. Write about it. Eat it. Smell it. And on and on… You get the idea. I love food.
And I put all kinds in my stories.
In “Sleeping Roses,” the first chapter opens with the main
character in a restaurant, crying into her chef salad.
My absolute favorite food: Red Velvet... anything. Cupcakes, cheesecake, muffins, cookies...
Here's a recipe for Red Velvet Cheesecake. It's taken from The Country Cook (you might want to check out her blog. She has boatloads of delicious recipes).
What you need:
1 box red velvet cake mix + ingredients to make the cake.
1 (8oz) block cream cheese
1/2 C sugar
1 egg white
1 container of cream cheese frosting.
Mix cake according to package directions. When finished, set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and egg white until smooth and creamy (takes a couple of minutes).
In 9x13 inch pan, spray with cooking spray (or grease and flour), then pour half the mixed red velvet cake into the bottom. Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the top, and swirl, then put the other half of the red velvet over the top. Bake according to package directions.
When it's totally cooked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Then ice with cream cheese frosting.
Keep refrigerated.

That's one impressive cake.
My favorite is Thai food - the spicier they better.
What an interesting subject on writing to chat about. Food can be a great characteristic of our characters. I have an MG character - story yet to be completed. She has a Cheeze-It fetish. There's something about it that makes her her. You know?
Oh I am totally salivating!! Yay for food in literature!!
My favourite food? Marmite! On toast! Take care

Favorite food depends on the moment - a rich curry, a juicy steak, even something as simple as English fish'n'chips. There's too much to enjoy to pick just one favorite!
And glad to hear someone else writes food into stories. My characters are always eating :)
Beautiful food pictures. I love to cook and this weekend I spent a lot of time cooking my daughter's favorite foods. Chicken n' dumplings, lemon meringue pie and blueberry crumb cake.
finding food in books or films or series is always my biggest thrill adn delight :) I watched all movies with food in them, and I love to find food and recipes in books too!
My fave food is French Toast and also Potato Onion Macaroni (that's a dish from my Vojvodina, you have the recipe at my Facebook :)
LOVE food in books. My youth book blog has taken a turn to that focus. I've even organized "A Feast of Fiction" panel at the "Life, the Universe, & Everything" symposium coming up this week! Food is definitely significant in story for setting, character, plot, even marketing! As you said, it adds a level of realism. Something a reader or viewer can connect with (and perhaps drool over). I think it's fantastic and it makes my heart dance.

Food in books and movies is okay by me. PS: You are very pretty in your new photo. Love your big eyes.
And I would think Red Velvet would be PERFECT for Snow, yes? Great post, RaShelle! I love food in books, too~ :o) <3
